What’s Changed? The external body of the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K (EF) is mostly unchanged in this update, and instead, the sensor is the star of the show. Blackmagic has implemented their own sensor design that can record up to 12K at 60fps. That quite a jump from the previous 4.6K sensor used in the Mini Pro G2. Recording and control options remain largely the same aside from the removal of any codecs other than Blackmagic RAW. You’ll find no ProRes options here.

Professional Features. With the URSA Mini Pro 12K, you get a raft of external controls that eliminate menu diving for focus assist, frame rate, and exposure settings. There’s an exterior LCD that provides at-a-glance shooting data, a four-position ND filtration wheel (0/2/4/6-stops), and dual CFast 2.0 and UHS-II capable SD memory card slots. Carried over from the Mini Pro G2 is recording to USB Type-C SSD drives, and a new Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 12K Recorder allows for full-quality 12K recording to compatible 2.5-inch SSDs.

EF Mount & Gold Mount Plate. This camera is physically compatible with lenses that utilize Canon’s EF mount and supports AF and aperture adjustments through camera with select lenses. This camera also features a preinstalled Gold Mount battery plate for battery power. Please note that neither a battery or charger are included with this rental.
